From my own experience there are two cameras that stand out for what you are hoping to do. The first one is the Nikon Coolpix. The one you are going to want is the P300, which is a 12.2 megapixel camera. The other option for you will be the Canon Powershot SX230 HS. This camera has 12.1 megapixels and a 14x zoom lens.
you know, i recommend Canon SX100 digital camera to you It has 10x ZOOM, 8MP and other good options and the price is 235USD without memory card
Some great brands for camera are Sony and Samsung. Cameras come from these companies usually affordable but also with very good quality. That's why most people chose these brands.
A great choice for a digital camera would be a Sony Cyber-Shot camera. This line of cameras is very good for traveling because they are compact. They feature 10 to 14 megapixel capabilities and cost around $175 - $300.
An LCD digital camera costs about the same no matter which brand. $100-300 is the typical price range, depending on the quality of the optics within.
It depends on what type of underwater digital camera you are wanting to purchase and how fancy of one you want to get but the range can be as low as 90 dollars and as expensive as 300 dollars.
A Fuji Finepix camera can vary in price depending on the range and model that is bought. Prices vary from under å£64 for a AX 500 Megapixel camera to å£300 for a X10 Digital camera.
A top of the line point and shoot camera might run $600 or more, but in general a good camera can be purchased for $300-$500. Some of the modern digital point and shoot camera have video features. On the other hand, one can get an HD flash memory digital camcorder for as little as $100, but more often $200.
No, D300 is a crop sensor camera.
Panasonic Lumix FT3, Fujifilm Finepix XP10, Sony Cybershot TX10 and Olympus mju TOUGH 8010 are just a few options when looking for underwater cameras. These cameras have good reviews.
Look into bridge cameras. Not very handy, but decent quality. As an alternative Sony has cheap mirrorless systems which are pretty good.
The best HD camera for under $200 or $300 is the Canon PowerShot SX280 HS (as of 2013). The Canon PowerShot SX280 HS has a power zoom of 20x, a large LCD, and plenty of resolution for sharp photos.
One can find online reviews and recommendations for a camera tripod on review sites such as Amazon. Wex Photographic also has a buyers guide to compare the camera tripods in terms of design and price.
